| Genetic deletion of Pglyrp1 in mice led to decreased tumor growth and an increased activation/effector phenotype in CD8+ T cells, suggesting an inhibitory function of peptidoglycan recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP1) in CD8+ T cells. [Nature Immunology] |

|
| Experiments in SKG, Card9−/−SKG, neutrophil-deplete SKG mice along with in vitro murine, neutrophil and CD4+ T cell cocultures examined Card9 function in neutrophil activation, Th17 induction and arthritis in experimental ankylosing spondylitis. [Annals Of The Rheumatic Diseases] |

|
| Researchers conducted high multiplicity of perturbations and cellular Indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes to find combinations of genes whose joint targeting improved antigen-presenting cell activity and enhanced their ability to activate T cells. [Nature Communications] |

|
| The authors reported that depletion of Foxp3+ Tregs in Staphylococcus aureus–colonized mice resulted in less IL-17 and an IFN-γ–dependent skin inflammation with impaired S. aureus immunity. [Journal Of Experimental Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that NK cells isolated from high-fat-diet mice or treated with oleic acid in vitro exhibited sustainable functional defects, even after removal from hyperlipidemic milieu. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators used a mouse model in which T cells were generated exclusively in the adult thymus and employed single-cell chromatin state analysis to study their development. [Cell Reports] |

|
| The ubiquitination-dependent processing of p100 is a critical step in the activation of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway. Scientists investigated the molecular mechanisms regulating this process and showed that TRIM55 was the E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediated the ubiquitination of p100 and coordinated its processing.

|
| AIM2 is located in the nucleus of Th17 cells, where it interacted with RORγt, enhancing its binding to the Il17a promoter. The absence of AIM2 hindered naive CD4 T cells from differentiating into functional Th17 cells and from inducing colitis in Rag1-/- mice. [iScience] |

|
| To study the relationship between polymeric nanoparticles design parameters and the modulation of innate and antigen-specific adaptive immune cell responses, researchers developed ovalbumin protein-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) bioconjugate polymeric nanoparticles.

|
| It is now appreciated that innate lymphocytes possess memory properties akin to those of adaptive immune cells.The authors draw parallels from T cell biology to explore the key features of immune memory in innate lymphocytes, including quantity, quality, and location. [Nature Immunology] |

| This is the third IND clearance for KYV-101, a novel, fully human CD19 CAR T-cell therapy designed for use in patients with B cell-driven autoimmune diseases. [Kyverna Therapeutics] |
